From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <[email protected]>

I've been told that do_div() expects an unsigned 64 bit number, and
is undefined if a signed is used. This gave a warning on the MIPS
build. I'm not sure if a signed 64 bit dividend is really an issue
or not, but the calculation this is used for is standard deviation,
and that isn't going to be negative. We can just convert it to
unsigned and be safe.
